2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[celtsrp33]

The Heat are putting everyone but Thomas and Hawes on the trading block.  We are looking to move numerous players/picks for a Star.  PM with offers. 

[johnnyrondo]

For the purposes of depth, the Bulls may need to move Luis Scola. Not giving him away. Great low post scorer and defender. Tough. But listening to offers.

Denver selects: Brian Scalabrine

Sad to see him go, but the ninth round is a little too high for what he brings to the table.

He was my last pick.  He is the prototypical 12th man.  He has the bling to prove it.   


Honestly, there wasn't any high impact young player out there that was going to crack my rotation at this point.  Might as well get the smart, hardworking bench rider.

I thought you'd nail hickson, i said as much to hobbs when handing in my list, scal's also a solid pick though

He just wouldn't get the minutes he needs.

Besides Scola, also willing to part with Gerald Wallace or Raja for depth.

I'll offer a 11th and 12th for Wallace.

I'll offer a 11th and 12th for Wallace.

And then all of a sudden say Wallace is the best forward in the league. That's the m.o. correct?

p.s. I thought you wanted to leave this alone? I'll offer my next 3 picks for Jermaine O'Neal?

So you're admitting that O'Neal has more value than Wallace?

(One wonders, though, if you're completely sold on Wallace, since you're actively shopping him.)

Need depth. You loved Wallace when he was drafted in the 2nd. You loved him when he was on Detroit. You thought both Rudy and Wilson weren't good enough to contribute when they were on the Bulls, but now they are. You loved Scola when he was picked in the 3rd, now you like Brad Slimey Miller more. You loved Hawes and hated Shaq, now Shaq is being compared to D12. The flipflopping is transparent and pretty John Kerry like. We do know that this is a popularity contest, so we understand the odd tactics, but the flip flopping is getting out of hand. Also you say to end a topic, but then want to sneak in another jab.

Your team is an ok team that is past its prime. You did well after giving up 1.16. You will compete with a chance to make the WCF even if everyone stays healthy. Your team would get crushed, run out the building by the Bulls.

[KCattheStripe]

The Memphis Grizzlies love when things get heated.

[Roy Hobbs]

You loved Scola when he was picked in the 3rd, now you like Brad Slimey Miller more.

How is that public posturing?  That's a trade offer you made us, which we turned down.  Why would we be insincere?  If we thought it made us better, we would have made the trade that you offered us.

But please, continue to not realize that a GM can like or dislike a player depending upon his fit on a certain team.

Bulls versus Blazers.


CP3 destroys Bibby

we like Raja over Redd

Gerald Wallace = Rashard Lewis. One got out of seattle and gets paid more

Pau Gasol has a field day on Jermaine

Horford gets ten dunks a game beating Shaq down the court

Scola abuses Miller off the bench

Hill matches Delonte.

Portland will have a better 8-10 for when they're getting blown out.

Bulls will run the Blazers off the court. Lucky for the Blazers, they only have to play the Bulls twice.



Is this what you wanted kC?

[Roy Hobbs]

I literally stopped reading after that.

Hm I asked if you'd move Scola for Brad Miller, Gomes and Dudley for depth purposes. If your going to state the facts, state all them. Scola is much better than Miller, but b/c of depth needs Gomes, who should of been a 5th rounder and Dudley help us.

You're just trying to attack my team and others to avoid the fact that the Blazers would implode in real life.

You're the one who made your offer public.

As we told you, we wouldn't trade Scola for Miller straight up.  We're glad you like our players, though.
